YCDSB Schools Gear up for Jays Care Baseball Program

On Friday, November 9, 2018, a group of educators from across Canada came together to participate in a full day of training for the Challenger Baseball Program. This program, run by the Jays Care Foundation, provides training, programming and equipment to implement a physical activity program for students with physical or intellectual disabilities.

While there is a baseball theme, activities focus on cooperative game play, and highlight social interaction in a fun and active manner. The core movements of throwing, catching, running and jumping are all a part of the program that encourages students with special needs to get active along with peers and staff.
